I've written horror a couple of times, and the main stumbling blocks I've run into are:

-Getting a good idea can be challenging
-To get the effect that I want, I generally need to write something with a more involved plot than I usually would.
-This also tends to mean a longer story than I usually would write.

But someone who has more experience with the genre probably wouldn't have these problems.

I don't generally write horror fanfics myself, but most (if not all) of the original fiction I write is horror so I just wanted to say that you nailed it on the head.

To actually get the feeling of 'horror' and 'dread' across you need to build up to it. Even those jumpscare videos and gifs we see online need more than a few seconds of silence for the 'scare' to work. A more effective horror story is one that takes it's time and it would probably be hard to write a horror fanfic in under 1k words. I seldom have time for long fanfics, so I won't write those.
